  12. Some General Pump Theory

  13. The Bernoulli equation is a special statement of the general energy equation Work added to the system is referred to as pump head (hP) Losses from the system are referred to as head loss (hL) Pressure (lbf/in2) is a form of work Strictly Mechanical Energy so we get the equation: P1 + PE1 + KE1 + WK = PE2 + KE2 + WKFRIC + P2 BERNOULLI’S THEOREM

  14. Z1 + (P1/) + (V12/2g) = Z2 + (P2/) + (V22/2g) + hP - hL BERNOULLI’S Equation Z : Elevation (ft) P : Pressure (lb/ft2)  : Density (lb/ft3) V : Velocity (ft/sec) g : acceleration (32.2 ft/sec2) Hp: pump head (ft) HL: Head Loss (ft) = f(L/D)(V2/2Zg) where f : friction factor L: Length D: Diameter

  15. Fluidic Design Equations – Bernoulli Again

  16. The vertical difference between 2 levels of liquid Use FT to measure the pressure exerted by a body of liquid in term of weight Head α Pressure α Energy Velocity Head The distance a liquid would have to fall for a given V Hv = V12/2g Friction Head Hl= f(L/D)(V2/2Zg) where f : friction factor L: Length D: Diameter THE CONCEPT OF “HEAD”

  17. Pressure Head STATIC DISCHARGE HEAD NET STATIC HEAD STATIC SUCTION PRESSURE PUMP

  18. Head required to impart velocity to a liquid Equivalent to the vertical distance through which the liquid would have to fall to acquire the same velocity Equal to V2 / 2g Velocity Head

  19. The force or pressure required to overcome friction is obtained at the expense of the static pressure head Unlike velocity head, friction head cannot be “recovered” or reconverted to static pressure head Thermal energy is usually wasted, therefore resulting in a head loss from the system Friction Head

  20. Centrifugal Pump Scaling “Laws”

  21. Apply to centrifugal (non-positive displacement) pumps only V  N Hp  N2 W  N3 V = volumetric flow rate N = speed of rotation Hp = pump head W = power required (prime mover) More Pump “Laws” . . .
